Mr Trump's based his entire brand on being the best, dear. Gold toilets, biggest private yacht, fake Renoirs, the lot. He only ran for Prez to add more cache to the brand.

He promised the world: a big beautiful wall - not a fence - that he'd get Mexico to pay for. If there's one thing Mr Trump knows, it's how to build things and get others to pay.

Repeal and replace Obamacare - only Mr Trump could do this because he knows how to work with Republicans, believe me.

Fix the mess in North Korea - created by Obama, of course, because he couldn't negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag. Mr Trump knows how East Asian communist dictators work. Only he can save America from certain nuclear annihilation.

Create jobs for all Americans. The unemployment figures are rigged. Mr Trump will create jobs just by being in the White House. In fact, his daughter Ivanka just created 17 million jobs (a little more than all US jobs created in the past three years, but you get the idea).

Mr Trump will be too busy making America great again to play golf, you'll see. World leaders will treat the White House with respect again. We'll win so much we'll get tired of winning.

Highest ever ratings in TV history, biggest-selling book, a landslide erection victory, biggest inauguration crowd ever, etc, etc, etc.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Actually, I just spoke with someone on the ground from Disaster Recovery.

The Red Cross give out $5000 to anyone who's NOT insured and has less than $10,000 in the bank. That's the criteria.

NSW Housing provides temporary accommodation for low income earners and the uninsured. Welfare centres are providing demountable houses or caravans to people in the same situation.

She also said the Red Cross' 10% admin cost sounds more than fair to fly down assessors, accomodate them, pay their wages, etc.

These organisations - Red Cross, the Salvos, St Vinnies - also need to coordinate to prevent double-dipping. They need to check claims - with no paperwork such as a deed. Bank accounts, Centrelink, the lot.

It's a big job. I wouldn't be bitching so prematurely. Fires on this scale are a learning experience for the Red Cross and others. We're going to see plenty more of these bushfires in future, so it's important that the charities get their procedures right.

That's not true, Sad. Mr Trump only fakes the tan to get the leftards wetting their knickers.

Same with all his lies, the Ukraine thing, even Stormy Daniels. It's the new paradigm, and Mr Trump is crushing it. It's all part of the Donald's masterful plan.

That's what the leftards don't understand. If they put all their energy into vibing with Mr Trump, they could win too. It takes 5 years to study Mr Trump and learn how to walk the "narrow path to success".

Okay, Trump University was closed down by the leftards, but you can do your own study by agreeing with everything Mr Trump says and repeating over and over how awesome he is.

If the leftards just did that, they might get somewhere, but oh no, they prefer to get triggered by Mr Trump.

After a while, it gets a bit stale, so Mr Trump has to do more and more outrageous things to trigger them even more. You wait until he tells Putin to release the footage - the leftards will be weeing all over themselves, and there Mr Trump will be, magnanimous, immovable, unshaken, the image of his tanned face being weed on by all those underage girls.

Yes, he might pretend it's all fake news, but he'll secretly have a chuckle with Putin about it while he furiously Tweets about how unfair it is.

And those vibing with Mr Trump's strategy for success will agree with what a great man he is.

WITCH HUNT!

When defending your toilet roll fortress, place rolls side on to absorb bullets.  Remember to leave some lengthways as rifle firing-points.

Courageous?

Sad, Mr Trump stood out the front of that church and held up a Bible. Victory, he said. There he was, one man, holding up the Book of God. Facing off all the tinted races, the leftards, even evil itself. Imagine how much courage it takes to do that.

Sure, Mr Trump had the place tear-gassed first, but he chose to show us all his second favourite book, after the Art of the Deal. We should all read it, he says.

Which bit?

All of it.

Any particular chapters?

It's all good.

New or Old Testament?

Look....

Right. It's Hillary we need to get. The woman's a menace. She shouldn't be walking around like that, it's not safe.

Exactly and this is what Trump ALWAYS DOES.

When things get tough, when his lies and bold impossible claims can no longer be supported by his "TRUMP" branding and people expect actual results or something tangible to be delivered, not just promises of it he gives up and declared bankruptcy, or in this case, apparently tries to deliberately lose the election.

It's what people have been warning about all along.

Trump had created so many divisions in the country all to hide his poor performance that during a time of a national, an international crisis when the country need to work together to try and control or even just slow the spread of a global pandemic, the divisions are too deep and Trump himself was still creating them around claims of the virus being a democrat hoax, masks being bad, social distancing and other measures to slow the virus being bad or leaning into the racism that fuels his supporters with "kung flu" etc.

The result of all of this is what we see now, the virus is out of control int he US.

And as you like to continue to point out scoot, the true infection rate is likely 9 to 10 times more than is being caught by the limited testing available.  That means there are potentially around 500,000 new infections daily.

I think at this point, one would be forgiven if they started to call the virus, at least within the US, the "Trump Virus".

So all those people warning that a Trump presidency would result in him bankrupting the country, they were pretty close after all.  Even before the Pandemic, his spending was out of control and things for the average American weren't improving, they were getting worse.  He's lucky in a way that the USA has been so badly hit by the Trump Virus because it covers the tracks of his complete and utter failures.

So for once Scoot, I think we agree.  Trump giving up is just another example of faux Alpha he's always been.

There is no doubt he's good at creating a business and personally profiting from its launch and it's clear this is his passion.  He considers himself a builder.

But when it comes to the nuts and bolts of actually operating and delivering, it's like kryptonite for him.

This is why he's so addicted to his rallies.  It's the "building part" of a Presidential campaign.  His problem is he won the election.

He still wants to build, he still wants to get the cheers and applause for all the things he'll say he'll do.

But he just doesn't have it in him to actually deliver.  He won't get the same applause as being the salesman for his business, his policies if he takes the time to work on them and actually delivers.  And it's made worse by the fact that his claims are so obviously bullshit and unachievable.

Mexico will pay for the wall?

Obamacare will be replaced with something better and everyone will have coverage and pay less?

Make America Great Again?

They're all things that sound great and get huge applause, but they are by design impossible to achieve in a way that those applauding them will be happy with the result and still applauding.

So he just moves on to build the next thing.

Over and over and over again, for decades, this has been Trump.

When the going gets tough, he gives up.

It's that simple.

I applaud you Scoot for finally taking the time to pay attention and see the truth of what Trump is.

There is nothing wrong with people like that, they are often risk-takers, but only because they don't really care about the outcome so long as they profit from the start-up, which he always seems to do.
